From One Mom To Another

I have had several ink stains since my toddler has discovered pens. One was on my fabric covered footstool. She wrote all over it. I looked for how to get the stains out and found this, ehow.com.

While it gives great instructions, the best one I found for me was in the comments section. One person used dishwasher detergent. It doesn’t matter what kind. (Although I did ruin a shirt of my daughters because the particular brand I used had bleach in it, so stay away from that if you have colored fabric.) However, on my green footstool which is color safe I assume, it came out like magic. I wet the stain with water, put a dab of detergent on my finger and rubbed it in. With no effort it came right out. Then I rinsed it again and soaked it up. It was good as new! It saved my footstool, because I was ready to throw it out.
